DAFTER, MI-- The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force has made another drug bust in Chippewa County.
Detectives say they made several controlled purchases of ecstasy from suspects in Dafter, and after a lengthy investigation executed a search warrant Monday on 10 Mile Road. They found an active meth lab, meth components and waste, and other evidence. Another warrant was executed at a neighboring building. Officers say someone broke into an abandoned church and started a meth lab inside.
Three suspects—all from Dafter—were arrested. Rodger Jewell, Suzanne Jewell, and Cody Power are charged on several counts, including conspiracy to operate a meth lab in the presence of a minor, near specified places, and involving hazardous waste. Power is also charged with three counts of delivery of ecstasy.
Tri-DENT says more arrests are likely.
